How do I refer to an image resource from CSS in grails?

Question

I want to refer to an image in my main stylesheet for a Grails app and I can\'t get it to work. My image lives in the standard location in my Grails app...

Answer 1

A more portable way to specify image locations is to use the resource() function:

.messageimg {
    height:17px;
    width:16px;
    background-image:url('${resource(dir: "images", file: "outbound-blue.png")}');
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
